Alan Olson reviewed the status of comprehensive plan #1
review by the Metropolitan Council. The City has
received a letter stating that the review is in pro-
gress and is expected to be completed sometime before
June 26 , 1981. The City will then have at least two
weeks to review the staff comments before our plan
is reviewed by the A�etro Councils Physical Development
Committee.
Alan Olson briefly reviewed the status of the recodi- #2
fication program for the D4unicipal Code and explain-
ed again for the Planning Commission that recodifi-
cation was a reorganization of our existing code, and
it did not in itself refer to any ordinance changes .
However, during that process, we fully intended to
make any necessary substantive changes to the ordinances,
particularly the zoning ordinances which we were re-
viewing tonight. Any zoning ordinance changes would
be adopted at the time of recodification but would be
first reviewed at public hearings, as required �y law.
Agenda item number three was discussed as far as format n3
for reviewing the zoning ordinance revisions .
Topics discussed included suggested changes to regul- #4
ations regarding fences, accessory buildings , and
land alteration projects. Items regarding guest
houses, and suggested changes in setback standards
were not discussed at this meeting.
This meeting' s purpose was to be a work session round
table discussion on all sides of each issue. No action
was taken on any topic. Staff will respond to this
meeting by incorporating suggestions into actual draft
ordinances, and by preparing additional topics for dis-
cussion at future joint meetings.
